What is the point of Minister O'Dea, FF & FG TDs and IBEC whinging about the short sighted Aer Lingus decision to end its Shannon – Heathrow connection? They must have known what could happen when they supported the privatisation of our national carrier. After all, they had the lessons of Eircom & Westlink, where vital infrastructure was exploited for maximum profits at the expense of taxpayers and consumers.

As someone who only holidays in Ireland due to various factors, the first thing I do before booking a holiday home or B & B is check and ensure that where ever we are staying  has the Critical Fáilte Ireland approved star ratings.

As the clock ticks to Minister John Gormley's decision on whether or not to permit another season of stag hunting in Ireland, I would like to remind him and his government colleagues that some of the greatest human beings of all time have taken a stand on behalf of deer persecuted and cruelly abused for sport.

Republican Sinn Fein in Clare has made a call on the Greens and Independent s to use their political power to bring down the  Fianna Fail Administration over the Shannon Airport issue.

I have watched, since the Autumn of 2005, the continuing battle over the M-3 motorway in the Tara/Skryne (Gabhra) Valley. I first became acquainted with the issue whilst my husband and I were on our way to the Dublin Airport the last day of our visit. It was then that we saw the “Archaeological” dig signs close by to the Hill of Tara, with “No Trespassing” written all over them. Upon our return to the U.S., I did a bit of investigating and was horrified, chilled to my very marrow, to find what this devious “scheme” actually entailed.

The decision of Aer Lingus to end the Shannon to Heathrow service is akin to an act  of national sabotage, Des Long, chairman of the Munster Executive of Republican Sinn Fein said this week.

We have heard the economical truth from the archaeologists and spin doctors working for the National Roads Authority and the Fianna Fail led administration on the M3 project whch will destroy Tara-Skryne Valley; the heart of Ireland's ancient heritage.
